حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، سَمِعَ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَخْبَرَتْهُ قَالَتِ، اسْتَأْذَنَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " ائْذَنُوا لَهُ بِئْسَ، أَخُو الْعَشِيرَةِ أَوِ ابْنُ الْعَشِيرَةِ ". فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ أَلاَنَ لَهُ الْكَلاَمَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قُلْتَ الَّذِي قُلْتَ، ثُمَّ أَلَنْتَ لَهُ الْكَلاَمَ قَالَ " أَىْ عَائِشَةُ، إِنَّ شَرَّ النَّاسِ مَنْ تَرَكَهُ النَّاسُ ـ أَوْ وَدَعَهُ النَّاسُ ـ اتِّقَاءَ فُحْشِهِ ".
A man asked permission to enter upon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Admit him. What an evil
brother of his people or a son of his people." But when the man entered, the Prophet (ﷺ) spoke to him in a
very polite manner. (And when that person left) I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! You had said what you had
said, yet you spoke to him in a very polite manner?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O `Aisha! The worst people
are those whom the people desert or leave in order to save themselves from their dirty language or
from their transgression."
Once the Prophet (ﷺ) went through the grave-yards of Medina and heard the voices of two humans who
were being tortured in their graves. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "They are being punished, but they are not being
punished because of a major sin, yet their sins are great. One of them used not to save himself from
(being soiled with) the urine, and the other used to go about with calumnies (Namima)." Then the
Prophet asked for a green palm tree leaf and split it into two pieces and placed one piece on each
grave, saying, "I hope that their punishment may be abated as long as these pieces of the leaf are not
dried."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever does not give up false statements (i.e. telling lies), and evil deeds, and
speaking bad words to others, Allah is not in need of his (fasting) leaving his food and drink."

should say, 'I think that he is so-and-so," if he really thinks that he is such. Allah is the One Who will
take his accounts (as He knows his reality) and no-one can sanctify anybody before Allah." (Khalid

The Prophet (ﷺ) continued for such-and-such period imagining that he has slept (had sexual relations)
with his wives, and in fact he did not. One day he said, to me, "O `Aisha! Allah has instructed me
regarding a matter about which I had asked Him. There came to me two men, one of them sat near my
feet and the other near my head. The one near my feet, asked the one near my head (pointing at me),
'What is wrong with this man? The latter replied, 'He is under the effect of magic.' The first one asked,
'Who had worked magic on him?' The other replied, 'Lubaid bin Asam.' The first one asked, 'What
material (did he use)?' The other replied, 'The skin of the pollen of a male date tree with a comb and
the hair stuck to it, kept under a stone in the well of Dharwan."' Then the Prophet (ﷺ) went to that well
and said, "This is the same well which was shown to me in the dream. The tops of its date-palm trees
look like the heads of the devils, and its water looks like the Henna infusion." Then the Prophet (ﷺ)
ordered that those things be taken out. I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Won't you disclose (the magic
object)?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah has cured me and I hate to circulate the evil among the people."
`Aisha added, "(The magician) Lubaid bin Asam was a man from Bani Zuraiq, an ally of the Jews."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the worst of false tales; and do not look for
the others' faults and do not spy, and do not be jealous of one another, and do not desert (cut your
relation with) one another, and do not hate one another; and O Allah's worshipers! Be brothers (as
Allah has ordered you!")

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، بِهَذَا وَقَالَتْ دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمًا وَقَالَ
" يَا عَائِشَةُ مَا أَظُنُّ فُلاَنًا وَفُلاَنًا يَعْرِفَانِ دِينَنَا الَّذِي نَحْنُ عَلَيْهِ ".
`Aisha said "The Prophet (ﷺ) entered upon me one day and said, 'O `Aisha! I do not think that so-and-so
and so-and-so know anything of our religion which we follow."'
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying. "All the sins of my followers will be forgiven except those of the
Mujahirin (those who commit a sin openly or disclose their sins to the people). An example of such
disclosure is that a person commits a sin at night and though Allah screens it from the public, then he
comes in the morning, and says, 'O so-and-so, I did such-and-such (evil) deed yesterday,' though he
spent his night screened by his Lord (none knowing about his sin) and in the morning he removes
Allah's screen from himself."
A man asked Ibn `Umar, "What did you hear Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying regarding An-Najwa (secret talk
between Allah and His believing worshipper on the Day of Judgment)?" He said, "(The Prophet (ﷺ) said),
"One of you will come close to his Lord till He will shelter him in His screen and say: Did you
commit such-and-such sin? He will say, 'Yes.' Then Allah will say: Did you commit such and such
sin? He will say, 'Yes.' So Allah will make him confess (all his sins) and He will say, 'I screened them
(your sins) for you in the world, and today I forgive them for you."'
Al-Khuzai: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Shall I inform you about the people of
Paradise? They comprise every obscure unimportant humble person, and
if he takes Allah's Oath that he will do that thing, Allah will
fulfill his oath (by doing that). Shall I inform you about the people
of the Fire? They comprise every cruel, violent, proud and conceited
person."
(the wife of the Prophet) that she was told that `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair (on hearing that she was
selling or giving something as a gift) said, "By Allah, if `Aisha does not give up this, I will declare her
incompetent to dispose of her wealth." I said, "Did he (`Abdullah bin Az-Zubair) say so?" They
(people) said, "Yes." `Aisha said, "I vow to Allah that I will never speak to Ibn Az-Zubair." When this
desertion lasted long, `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair sought intercession with her, but she said, "By Allah, I
will not accept the intercession of anyone for him, and will not commit a sin by breaking my vow."
When this state of affairs was prolonged on Ibn Az-Zubair (he felt it hard on him), he said to Al-
Miswar bin Makhrama and `Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Aswad bin 'Abu Yaghuth, who were from the tribe
of Bani Zahra, "I beseech you, by Allah, to let me enter upon `Aisha, for it is unlawful for her to vow
to cut the relation with me."
So Al-Miswar and `Abdur-Rahman, wrapping their sheets around themselves, asked `Aisha's
permission saying, "Peace and Allah's Mercy and Blessings be upon you! Shall we come in?" `Aisha
said, "Come in." They said, "All of us?" She said, "Yes, come in all of you," not knowing that Ibn Az-
Zubair was also with them. So when they entered, Ibn Az-Zubair entered the screened place and got
hold of `Aisha and started requesting her to excuse him, and wept. Al-Miswar and `Abdur Rahman
also started requesting her to speak to him and to accept his repentance.
They said (to her), "The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade what you know of deserting (not speaking to your Muslim
Brethren), for it is unlawful for any Muslim not to talk to his brother for more than three nights
(days)." So when they increased their reminding her (of the superiority of having good relation with
Kith and kin, and of excusing others' sins), and brought her down to a critical situation, she started
reminding them, and wept, saying, "I have made a vow, and (the question of) vow is a difficult one."
They (Al-Miswar and `Abdur-Rahman) persisted in their appeal till she spoke with `Abdullah bin Az-
Zubair and she manumitted forty slaves as an expiation for her vow. Later on, whenever she
remembered her vow, she used to weep so much that her veil used to become wet with her tears.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Do not hate one another, nor be jealous of one another; and do not desert one
another, but O Allah's worshipers! Be Brothers! And it is unlawful for a Muslim to desert his brother
Muslim (and not to talk to him) for more than three nights."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "It is not lawful for a man to desert his brother Muslim for more than three
nights. (It is unlawful for them that) when they meet, one of them turns his face away from the other,
and the other turns his face from the former, and the better of the two will be the one who greets the
other first."

`Umar saw a silken cloak over a man (for sale) so he took it to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, 'O Allah's

When `Abdur-Rahman came to us, the Prophet (ﷺ) established a bond of brotherhood between him and
Sa`d bin Ar-Rabi`. Once the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "As you (O `Abdur-Rahman) have married, give a wedding
banquet even if with one sheep."

Rifa`a Al-Qurazi divorced his wife irrevocably (i.e. that divorce was the final). Later on `Abdur-
Rahman bin Az-Zubair married her after him. She came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I
was Rifa`a's wife and he divorced me thrice, and then I was married to `Abdur-Rahman bin AzZubair,
who, by Allah has nothing with him except something like this fringe, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)," showing a
fringe she had taken from her covering sheet. Abu Bakr was sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) while Khalid Ibn
Sa`id bin Al-As was sitting at the gate of the room waiting for admission. Khalid started calling Abu
Bakr, "O Abu Bakr! Why don't you reprove this lady from what she is openly saying before Allah's
Apostle?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did nothing except smiling, and then said (to the lady), "Perhaps you want
to go back to Rifa`a? No, (it is not possible), unless and until you enjoy the sexual relation with him
(`Abdur Rahman), and he enjoys the sexual relation with you."

`Umar bin Al-Khattab asked permission of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to see him while some Quraishi women

to screen themselves the Prophet (ﷺ) admitted `Umar and he entered, while the Prophet (ﷺ) was smiling.
`Umar said, "May Allah always keep you smiling, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Let my father and mother be
sacrificed for you !" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I am astonished at these women who were with me. As soon
as they heard your voice, they hastened to screen themselves." `Umar said, "You have more right, that
they should be afraid of you, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" And then he (`Umar) turned towards them and said,
"O enemies of your souls! You are afraid of me and not of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" The women replied,
"Yes, for you are sterner and harsher than Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Ibn Al-Khattab!

While I was going along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who was wearing a Najrani Burd (sheet) with a thick
border, a bedouin overtook the Prophet (ﷺ) and pulled his Rida' (sheet) forcibly. I looked at the side of the
shoulder of the Prophet (ﷺ) and noticed that the edge of the Rida' had left a mark on it because of the
violence of his pull. The bedouin said, "O Muhammad! Order for me some of Allah's property which
you have." The Prophet (ﷺ) turned towards him, (smiled) and ordered that he be given something.
The Prophet (ﷺ) did not screen himself from me (had never prevented me from entering upon him) since I
embraced Islam, and whenever he saw me, he would receive me with a smile. Once I told him that I
could not sit firm on horses. He stroked me on the chest with his hand, and said, "O Allah! Make him
firm and make him a guiding and a rightly guided man.

said, "There is lack of rain, so please invoke your Lord to bless us with the rain." The Prophet (ﷺ) looked
at the sky when no cloud could be detected. Then he invoked Allah for rain. Clouds started gathering
together and it rained till the Medina valleys started flowing with water. It continued raining till the
next Friday. Then that man (or some other man) stood up while the Prophet (ﷺ) was delivering the Friday
sermon, and said, "We are drowned; Please invoke your Lord to withhold it (rain) from us" The
Prophet smiled and said twice or thrice, "O Allah! Please let it rain round about us and not upon us."

" مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَتَنَزَّهُونَ عَنِ الشَّىْءِ أَصْنَعُهُ، فَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَعْلَمُهُمْ بِاللَّهِ وَأَشَدُّهُمْ لَهُ خَشْيَةً ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) did something and allowed his people to do it, but some people refrained from doing it.
When the Prophet (ﷺ) learned of that, he delivered a sermon, and after having sent Praises to Allah, he
said, "What is wrong with such people as refrain from doing a thing that I do? By Allah, I know Allah
better than they, and I am more afraid of Him than they."

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ ـ هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُتْبَةَ مَوْلَى أَنَسٍ ـ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَشَدَّ حَيَاءً مِنَ الْعَذْرَاءِ فِي خِدْرِهَا، فَإِذَا رَأَى شَيْئًا يَكْرَهُهُ عَرَفْنَاهُ فِي وَجْهِهِ.
The Prophet (ﷺ) was more shy than a virgin in her separate room. And if he saw a thing which he disliked,
we would recognize that (feeling) in his face.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever swears by a religion other than Islam (i.e. if he swears by saying that he
is a non-Muslim in case he is telling a lie), then he is as he says if his oath is false and whoever
commits suicide with something, will be punished with the same thing in the (Hell) fire, and cursing a
believer is like murdering him, and whoever accuses a believer of disbelief, then it is as if he had
killed him."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَادَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَلِيمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ كَانَ يُصَلِّي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ يَأْتِي قَوْمَهُ فَيُصَلِّي بِهِمُ الصَّلاَةَ، فَقَرَأَ بِهِمُ الْبَقَرَةَ ـ قَالَ ـ فَتَجَوَّزَ رَجُلٌ فَصَلَّى صَلاَةً خَفِيفَةً، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ مُعَاذًا فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ مُنَافِقٌ. فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا قَوْمٌ نَعْمَلُ بِأَيْدِينَا، وَنَسْقِي بِنَوَاضِحِنَا، وَإِنَّ مُعَاذًا صَلَّى بِنَا الْبَارِحَةَ، فَقَرَأَ الْبَقَرَةَ فَتَجَوَّزْتُ، فَزَعَمَ أَنِّي مُنَافِقٌ. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " يَا مُعَاذُ أَفَتَّانٌ أَنْتَ ـ ثَلاَثًا ـ اقْرَأْ {وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا} وَ{سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الأَعْلَى} وَنَحْوَهَا ".
Mu`adh bin Jabal used to pray with the Prophet (ﷺ) and then go to lead his people in prayer. Once he led
the people in prayer and recited Surat-al-Baqara. A man left (the row of the praying people) and
offered (light) prayer (separately) and went away. When Mu`adh came to know about it, he said. "He
(that man) is a hypocrite." Later that man heard what Mu`adh said about him, so he came to the
Prophet and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We are people who work with our own hands and irrigate (our
farms) with our camels. Last night Mu`adh led us in the (night) prayer and he recited Sura-al-Baqara,
so I offered my prayer separately, and because of that, he accused me of being a hypocrite." The
Prophet called Mu`adh and said thrice, "O Mu`adh! You are putting the people to trials? Recite 'Washshamsi
wad-uhaha' (91) or'Sabbih isma Rabbi ka-l-A'la' (87) or the like."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "Whoever amongst you swears, (saying by error) in his oath 'By Al-Lat and Al-
Uzza', then he should say, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' And whoever says to his
companions, 'Come let me gamble' with you, then he must give something in charity (as an expiation
for such a sin)." (See Hadith No. 645)

that he found `Umar bin Al-Khattab in a group of people and he was swearing by his father. So

"Such people as paint these pictures will receive the severest punishment on the Day of Resurrection

somebody). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You should announce it publicly for one year, and then remember and
recognize the tying material of its container, and then you can spend it. If its owner came to you, then
you should pay him its equivalent." The man said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What about a lost sheep?" The
Prophet said, "Take it because it is for you, for your brother, or for the wolf." The man again said, "O
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What about a lost camel?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) became very angry and furious and his
cheeks became red (or his face became red), and he said, "You have nothing to do with it (the camel)
for it has its food and its water container with it till it meets its owner."

and knocked the door with small stones (to draw his attention). He came out to them in a state of
anger, saying, "You are still insisting (on your deed, i.e. Tarawih prayer in the mosque) that I thought
that this prayer (Tarawih) might become obligatory on you. So you people, offer this prayer at your
homes, for the best prayer of a person is the one which he offers at home, except the compulsory

Um Sulaim came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Verily, Allah does not feel shy to
tell the truth. If a woman gets a nocturnal sexual discharge (has a wet dream), is it essential for her to
take a bath? He replied, "Yes if she notices a discharge."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The example of a believer is like a green tree, the leaves of which do not fall." The
people said. "It is such-and-such tree: It is such-and-such tree." I intended to say that it was the
datepalm tree, but I was a young boy and felt shy (to answer). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is the date-palm
tree." Ibn `Umar added, " I told that to `Umar who said, 'Had you said it, I would have preferred it to
such-and such a thing."

Whenever Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was given the choice of one of two matters he would choose the easier of
the two as long as it was not sinful to do so, but if it was sinful, he would not approach it. Allah's
Apostle never took revenge over anybody for his own sake but (he did) only when Allah's legal
bindings were outraged, in which case he would take revenge for Allah's sake." (See Hadith No. 760.

We were in the city of Al-Ahwaz on the bank of a river which had dried up. Then Abu Barza Al-
Aslami came riding a horse and he started praying and let his horse loose. The horse ran away, so Abu
Barza interrupted his prayer and went after the horse till he caught it and brought it, and then he
offered his prayer. There was a man amongst us who was (from the Khawari) having a different
opinion. He came saying. "Look at this old man! He left his prayer because of a horse." On that Abu
Barza came to us and said, "Since the time I left Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), nobody has admonished me; My
house is very far from this place, and if I had carried on praying and left my horse, I could not have
reached my house till night." Then Abu Barza mentioned that he had been in the company of the
Prophet, and that he had seen his leniency.
A bedouin urinated in the mosque, and the people rushed to beat him. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered them to
leave him and pour a bucket or a tumbler (full) of water over the place where he has passed urine. The
Prophet then said, " You have been sent to make things easy (for the people) and you have not been
sent to make things difficult for them."

I used to play with the dolls in the presence of the Prophet, and my girl friends also used to play with
me. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to enter (my dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, but the
Prophet would call them to join and play with me. (The playing with the dolls and similar images is
forbidden, but it was allowed for `Aisha at that time, as she was a little girl, not yet reached the age of
puberty.) (Fath-ul-Bari page 143, Vol.13)
A man asked permission to see the Prophet. He said, "Let Him come in; What an evil man of the tribe

Apostle! You have said what you have said, then you spoke to him in a very gentle and polite manner?
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The worse people, in the sight of Allah are those whom the people leave

The Prophet (ﷺ) was given a gift of a few silken cloaks with gold buttons. He distributed them amongst
some of his companions and put aside one of them for Makhrama. When Makhrama came, the

" لاَ يُلْدَغُ الْمُؤْمِنُ مِنْ جُحْرٍ وَاحِدٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A believer is not stung twice (by something) out of one and the same hole."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) entered upon me and said, "Have I not been informed that you offer prayer all the
night and fast the whole day?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Do not do so; Offer prayer at night and also
sleep; Fast for a few days and give up fasting for a few days because your body has a right on you,
and your eye has a right on you, and your guest has a right on you, and your wife has a right on you. I
hope that you will have a long life, and it is sufficient for you to fast for three days a month as the
reward of a good deed, is multiplied ten times, that means, as if you fasted the whole year." I insisted
(on fasting more) so I was given a hard instruction. I said, "I can do more than that (fasting)" The
Prophet said, "Fast three days every week." But as I insisted (on fasting more) so I was burdened. I
said, "I can fast more than that." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Fast as Allah's prophet David used to fast." I said,
"How was the fasting of the prophet David?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "One half of a year (i.e. he used to fast
on alternate days). '
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should serve his guest generously.
The guest's reward is: To provide him with a superior type of food for a night and a day and a guest is
to be entertained with food for three days, and whatever is offered beyond that, is regarded as
something given in charity. And it is not lawful for a guest to stay with his host for such a long period
so as to put him in a critical position."
Narrated Malik:
Similarly as above (156) adding, "Who believes in Allah and the Last Day should talk what is good or
keep quiet." (i.e. abstain from dirty and evil talk, and should think before uttering).
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should not hurt his neighbor and
whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should serve his guest generously and whoever believes

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should serve his guest generously;
and whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should unite the bond of kinship (i.e. keep good
relation with his kith and kin); and whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should talk what is
good or keep quiet."
The Prophet (ﷺ) established a bond of brotherhood between Salman and Abu Darda'. Salman paid a visit
to Abu ad-Darda and found Um Ad-Darda' dressed in shabby clothes and asked her why she was in
that state.?" She replied, "Your brother, Abu Ad-Darda is not interested in the luxuries of this world."
In the meantime Abu Ad-Darda came and prepared a meal for him (Salman), and said to him,
"(Please) eat for I am fasting." Salman said, "I am not going to eat, unless you eat." So Abu Ad-Darda'
ate. When it was night, Abu Ad-Darda' got up (for the night prayer). Salman said (to him), "Sleep,"
and he slept. Again Abu- Ad-Darda' got up (for the prayer), and Salman said (to him), "Sleep." When
it was the last part of the night, Salman said to him, "Get up now (for the prayer)." So both of them
offered their prayers and Salman said to Abu Ad-Darda',"Your Lord has a right on you; and your soul
has a right on you; and your family has a right on you; so you should give the rights of all those who
have a right on you). Later on Abu Ad-Darda' visited the Prophet (ﷺ) and mentioned that to him. The
Prophet, said, "Salman has spoken the truth."
Abu Bakr invited a group of people and told me, "Look after your guests." Abu Bakr added, I am
going to visit the Prophet (ﷺ) and you should finish serving them before I return." `Abdur-Rahman said,
So I went at once and served them with what was available at that time in the house and requested
them to eat." They said, "Where is the owner of the house (i.e., Abu Bakr)?" `Abdur-Rahman said,
"Take your meal." They said, "We will not eat till the owner of the house comes." `Abdur-Rahman
said, "Accept your meal from us, for if my father comes and finds you not having taken your meal yet,
we will be blamed severely by him, but they refused to take their meals . So I was sure that my father
would be angry with me. When he came, I went away (to hide myself) from him. He asked, "What
have you done (about the guests)?" They informed him the whole story. Abu Bakr called, "O `Abdur
Rahman!" I kept quiet. He then called again. "O `Abdur-Rahman!" I kept quiet and he called again,
"O ignorant (boy)! I beseech you by Allah, if you hear my voice, then come out!" I came out and said,
"Please ask your guests (and do not be angry with me)." They said, "He has told the truth; he brought
the meal to us." He said, "As you have been waiting for me, by Allah, I will not eat of it tonight."
They said, "By Allah, we will not eat of it till you eat of it." He said, I have never seen a night like this
night in evil. What is wrong with you? Why don't you accept your meals of hospitality from us?" (He
said to me), "Bring your meal." I brought it to him, and he put his hand in it, saying, "In the name of
Allah. The first (state of fury) was because of Satan." So Abu Bakr ate and so did his guests.

"Haven't you served the supper to them?" She replied, "We presented the meal to him (or to them), but
he (or they) refused to eat." Abu Bakr became angry, rebuked me and invoked Allah to cause (my)
ears to be cut and swore not to eat of it!" I hid myself, and he called me, "O ignorant (boy)!" Abu
Bakr's wife swore that she would not eat of it and so the guests or the guest swore that they would not
eat of it till he ate of it. Abu Bakr said, "All that happened was from Satan." So he asked for the meals
and ate of it, and so did they. Whenever they took a handful of the meal, the meal grew (increased)
from underneath more than that mouthful. He said (to his wife), "O, sister of Bani Firas! What is
this?" She said, "O, pleasure of my eyes! The meal is now more than it had been before we started
eating'' So they ate of it and sent the rest of that meal to the Prophet. It is said that the Prophet (ﷺ) also ate
of it.

them (the Jews) should take an oath to contradict your claim." They said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! They
are disbelievers (and they will take a false oath)." Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) himself paid the blood money
to them.

Narrated Ibn `Umar:
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَخْبِرُونِي بِشَجَرَةٍ مَثَلُهَا مَثَلُ الْمُسْلِمِ، تُؤْتِي أُكُلَهَا كُلَّ حِينٍ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهَا، وَلاَ تَحُتُّ وَرَقَهَا ". فَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي أَنَّهَا النَّخْلَةُ، فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ وَثَمَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ، فَلَمَّا لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ ". فَلَمَّا خَرَجْتُ مَعَ أَبِي قُلْتُ يَا أَبَتَاهْ وَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي أَنَّهَا النَّخْلَةُ. قَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَقُولَهَا لَوْ كُنْتَ قُلْتَهَا كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ كَذَا وَكَذَا. قَالَ مَا مَنَعَنِي إِلاَّ أَنِّي لَمْ أَرَكَ وَلاَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ تَكَلَّمْتُمَا، فَكَرِهْتُ.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Inform me of a tree which resembles a Muslim, giving its fruits at every season
by the permission of its Lord, and the leaves of which do not fall." I thought of the date-palm tree, but
I disliked to speak because Abu Bakr and `Umar were present there. When nobody spoke, the Prophet (ﷺ)
said, "It is the date-palm tree" When I came out with my father, I said, "O father! It came to my mind
that it was the date-palm tree." He said, "What prevented you from saying it?" Had you said it, it
would have been more dearer to me than such-and-such a thing (fortune)." I said, "Nothing prevented
me but the fact that neither you nor Abu Bakr spoke, so I disliked to speak (in your presence).

Narrated Abu Huraira:
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" أَصْدَقُ كَلِمَةٍ قَالَهَا الشَّاعِرُ كَلِمَةُ لَبِيدٍ أَلاَ كُلُّ شَىْءٍ مَا خَلاَ اللَّهَ بَاطِلُ ". وَكَادَ أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The most true words said by a poet were the words of Labid. He said, i.e. 'Verily,
everything except Allah is perishable and Umaiya bin Abi As-Salt was about to embrace Islam .
We went out with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to Khaibar and we travelled during the night. A man amongst the
people said to 'Amir bin Al-Aqwa', "Won't you let us hear your poetry?" 'Amir was a poet, and so he
got down and started (chanting Huda) reciting for the people, poetry that keep pace with the camel's
foot steps, saying, "O Allah! Without You we would not have been guided on the right path, neither
would we have given in charity, nor would we have prayed. So please forgive us what we have
committed. Let all of us be sacrificed for Your cause and when we meet our enemy, make our feet
firm and bestow peace and calmness on us and if they (our enemy) will call us towards an unjust thing
we will refuse.
The infidels have made a hue and cry to ask others help against us. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Who is that
driver (of the camels)?" They said, "He is 'Amir bin Al-Aqwa."' He said, "May Allah bestow His
mercy on him." A man among the people said, Has Martyrdom been granted to him, O Allah's
Prophet! Would that you let us enjoy his company longer." We reached (the people of) Khaibar and
besieged them till we were stricken with severe hunger but Allah helped the Muslims conquer
Khaibar. In the evening of its conquest the people made many fires. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked, "What are
those fires? For what are you making fires?" They said, "For cooking meat." He asked, "What kind of
meat?" They said, "Donkeys' meat." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Throw away the meat and break the
cooking pots." A man said, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall we throw away the meat and wash the cooking
pots?" He said, "You can do that too." When the army files aligned in rows (for the battle), 'Amir's
sword was a short one, and while attacking a Jew with it in order to hit him, the sharp edge of the
sword turned back and hit 'Amir's knee and caused him to die.
When the Muslims returned (from the battle), Salama said, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw me pale and said,
'What is wrong with you?"' I said, "Let my parents be sacrificed for you! The people claim that all the
deeds of Amir have been annulled." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Who said so?" I replied, "So-and-so and soand-
so and Usaid bin Al-Hudair Al-Ansari said, 'Whoever says so is telling a lie. Verily, 'Amir will
have double reward."' (While speaking) the Prophet (ﷺ) put two of his fingers together to indicate that,
and added, "He was really a hard-working man and a Mujahid (devout fighter in Allah's Cause) and
rarely have there lived in it (i.e., Medina or the battle-field) an "Arab like him."

" وَيْلَكَ قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَ أَخِيكَ ـ ثَلاَثًا ـ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَادِحًا لاَ مَحَالَةَ فَلْيَقُلْ أَحْسِبُ فُلاَنًا ـ وَاللَّهُ حَسِيبُهُ ـ وَلاَ أُزَكِّي عَلَى اللَّهِ أَحَدًا. إِنْ كَانَ يَعْلَمُ ".
A man praised another man in front of the Prophet. The Prophet (ﷺ) said thrice, "Wailaka (Woe on you) !
You have cut the neck of your brother!" The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "If it is indispensable for anyone of you
to praise a person, then he should say, "I think that such-and-such person (is so-and-so), and Allah is
the one who will take his accounts (as he knows his reality) and none can sanctify anybody before
Allah (and that only if he knows well about that person.)".
While the Prophet (ﷺ) was distributing (war booty etc.) one day, Dhul Khawaisira, a man from the tribe of
Bani Tamim, said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Act justly." The Prophets said, "Woe to you! Who else would
act justly if I did not act justly?" `Umar said (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ), "Allow me to chop his neck off." The
Prophet said, "No, for he has companions (who are apparently so pious that) if anyone of (you
compares his prayer with) their prayer, he will consider his prayer inferior to theirs, and similarly his
fasting inferior to theirs, but they will desert Islam (go out of religion) as an arrow goes through the
victim's body (games etc.) in which case if its Nasl is examined nothing will be seen thereon, and if its
Nady is examined, nothing will be seen thereon, and if its Qudhadh is examined, nothing will be seen
thereon, for the arrow has gone out too fast even for the excretions and blood to smear over it. Such
people will come out at the time of difference among the (Muslim) people and the sign by which they
will be recognized, will be a man whose one of the two hands will look like the breast of a woman or
a lump of flesh moving loosely." Abu Sa`id added, "I testify that I heard that from the Prophet (ﷺ) and
also testify that I was with `Ali when `Ali fought against those people. The man described by the
Prophet was searched for among the killed, and was found, and he was exactly as the Prophet (ﷺ) had
described him." (See Hadith No. 807, Vol. 4)
A man came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I am ruined!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Waihaka (May Allah be merciful to you) !" The man said, "I have done sexual intercourse with my
wife while fasting in Ramadan." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Manumit a slave." The man said, " I cannot afford
that. " The Prophet (ﷺ) said; "Then fast for two successive months." The man said, " I have no power to
do so." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then feed sixty poor persons." The man said, "I have nothing (to feed sixty
persons). Later a basket full of dates were brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said (to the man), "Take it
and give it in charity." The man said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall I give it to people other than my
family? By Him in Whose Hand my life is, there is nobody poorer than me in the whole city of
Medina." The Prophet (ﷺ) smiled till his premolar teeth became visible, and said, "Take it." Az-Zuhri said
(that the Prophet (ﷺ) said). "Wailaka."
A bedouin said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Inform me about the emigration." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Waihaka
(May Allah be merciful to you)! The question of emigration is a difficult one. Have you got some
camels?" The bedouin said, "Yes." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do you pay their Zakat?" He said, "Yes." The
Prophet said, "Go on doing like this from beyond the seas, for Allah will not let your deeds go in
vain."

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Wailakum" (woe to you) or "waihakum" (May Allah be merciful to you)." Shu`ba
is not sure as to which was the right word. "Do not become disbelievers after me by cutting the necks
of one another."
A bedouin came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! When will The Hour be established?"
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Wailaka (Woe to you), What have you prepared for it?" The bedouin said, "I have
not prepared anything for it, except that I love Allah and H is Apostle." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You will
be with those whom you love." We (the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) ) said, "And will we too be so?
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes." So we became very glad on that day. In the meantime, a slave of Al-Mughira
passed by, and he was of the same age as I was. The Prophet (ﷺ) said. "If this (slave) should live long, he
will not reach the geriatric old age, but the Hour will be established."

`Umar bin Al-Khattab set out with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), and a group of his companions to Ibn Saiyad.
They found him playing with the boys in the fort or near the Hillocks of Bani Maghala. Ibn Saiyad
was nearing his puberty at that time, and he did not notice the arrival of the Prophet (ﷺ) till Allah's
Apostle stroked him on the back with his hand and said, "Do you testify that I am Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?"
Ibn Saiyad looked at him and said, "I testify that you are the Apostle of the unlettered ones
(illiterates)". Then Ibn Saiyad said to the Prophets . "Do you testify that I am Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" The
Prophet denied that, saying, "I believe in Allah and all His Apostles," and then said to Ibn Saiyad,
"What do you see?" Ibn Saiyad said, "True people and liars visit me." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You have
been confused as to this matter." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) added, "I have kept something for you (in my
mind)." Ibn Saiyad said, "Ad-Dukh." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Ikhsa (you should be ashamed) for you can
not cross your limits." `Umar said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Allow me to chop off h is neck." Allah's
Apostle said (to `Umar). "Should this person be him (i.e. Ad-Dajjal) then you cannot over-power him;
and should he be someone else, then it will be no use your killing him." `Abdullah bin `Umar added:
Later on Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Ubai bin Ka`b Al-Ansari (once again) went to the garden in which Ibn
Saiyad was present.
When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) entered the garden, he started hiding behind the trunks of the date-palms
intending to hear something from Ibn Saiyad before the latter could see him. Ibn Saiyad was Lying on
his bed, covered with a velvet sheet from where his mumur were heard. Ibn Saiyad's mother saw the
Prophet and said, "O Saf (the nickname of Ibn Saiyad)! Here is Muhammad!" Ibn Saiyad stopped his
murmuring. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If his mother had kept quiet, then I would have learnt more about
him." `Abdullah added: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up before the people (delivering a sermon), and after
praising and glorifying Allah as He deserved, he mentioned the Ad-Dajjal saying, "I warn you against
him, and there has been no prophet but warned his followers against him. Noah warned his followers
against him but I am telling you about him, something which no prophet has told his people of, and
that is: Know that he is blind in one eye where as Allah is not so."
When the delegation of `Abdul Qais came to the Prophet, he said, "Welcome, O the delegation who
have come! Neither you will have disgrace, nor you will regret." They said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We
are a group from the tribe of Ar-Rabi`a, and between you and us there is the tribe of Mudar and we
cannot come to you except in the sacred months. So please order us to do something good (religious
deeds) so that we may enter Paradise by doing that, and also that we may order our people who are
behind us (whom we have left behind at home) to follow it." He said, "Four and four:" offer prayers
perfectly , pay the Zakat, (obligatory charity), fast the month of Ramadan, and give one-fifth of the
war booty (in Allah's cause), and do not drink in (containers called) Ad-Duba,' Al-Hantam, An-Naqir
and Al-Muzaffat."

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قُلْتُ لاِبْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى رَأَيْتَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ابْنَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ مَاتَ صَغِيرًا، وَلَوْ قُضِيَ أَنْ يَكُونَ بَعْدَ مُحَمَّدٍ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَبِيٌّ عَاشَ ابْنُهُ، وَلَكِنْ لاَ نَبِيَّ بَعْدَهُ.
I asked Abi `Aufa, "Did you see Ibrahim, the son of the Prophet (ﷺ) ?" He said, "Yes, but he died in his
early childhood. Had there been a Prophet after Muhammad then his son would have lived, but there
is no Prophet after him."

حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" سَمُّوا بِاسْمِي، وَلاَ تَكْتَنُوا بِكُنْيَتِي، فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا قَاسِمٌ أَقْسِمُ بَيْنَكُمْ ". وَرَوَاهُ أَنَسٌ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Name yourselves after me (by my name) but do not call (yourselves) by my
Kuniya (1), for I am Al-Qasim (distributor), and I distribute among you Allah's blessings." This
narration has also come on the authority of Anas that the ! Prophet said so."

Narrated Abu Huraira:
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَصِينٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" سَمُّوا بِاسْمِي وَلاَ تَكْتَنُوا بِكُنْيَتِي، وَمَنْ رَآنِي فِي الْمَنَامِ فَقَدْ رَآنِي، فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لاَ يَتَمَثَّلُ صُورَتِي، وَمَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَىَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Name yourselves after me (by my name), but do not call yourselves by my Kuniya,
and whoever sees me in a dream, he surely sees me, for Satan cannot impersonate me (appear in my
figure). And whoever intentionally ascribes something to me falsely, he will surely take his place in
the (Hell) Fire.
I got a son and I took him to the Prophet (ﷺ) who named him Ibrahim, and put in his mouth the juice of a
date fruit (which be himself had chewed?, and invoked for Allah's blessing upon him, and then gave
him back to me. He was the eldest son of Abii Musa.
When the Prophet (ﷺ) (once) raised his head after bowing [in the Salat (prayer)] he said, "O Allah, save Al-Walid bin Al-Walid and Salama bin Hisham and 'Aiyyash bin Abu Rabi'a and the helpless weak believers of Makkah. O Allah, be hard on the tribe of Mudar. O Allah, send on them (famine-drought) years like the (famine-drought) years of (the Prophet) Yusuf (Joseph)."

(the wife the Prophet) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Aisha! This is Gabriel sending his greetings to you." I

used not to see.

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ كَانَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ فِي الثَّقَلِ وَأَنْجَشَةُ غُلاَمُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَسُوقُ بِهِنَّ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" يَا أَنْجَشَ، رُوَيْدَكَ، سَوْقَكَ بِالْقَوَارِيرِ ".
Once Um Sulaim was (with the women who were) in charge of the luggage on a journey, and
Anjashah, the slave of the Prophet, was driving their camels (very fast). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Anjash!
Drive slowly (the camels) with the glass vessels (i.e., ladies).
The Prophet (ﷺ) was the best of all the people in character. I had a brother called Abu `Umar, who, I
think, had been newly weaned. Whenever he (that child) was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) the Prophet (ﷺ) used
to say, "O Abu `Umar! What did Al-Nughair (nightingale) (do)?" It was a nightingale with which he
used to play. Sometimes the time of the Prayer became due while he (the Prophet) was in our house.
He would order that the carpet underneath him be swept and sprayed with water, and then he would
stand up (for the prayer) and we would line up behind him, and he would lead us in prayer.

The most beloved names to `Ali was Abu Turab, and he used to be pleased when we called him by it,
for none named him Abu Turab (for the first time), but the Prophet. Once `Ali got angry with (his
wife) Fatima, and went out (of his house) and slept near a wall in the mosque. The Prophet (ﷺ) came
searching for him, and someone said, "He is there, Lying near the wall." The Prophet (ﷺ) came to him
while his (`Ali's) back was covered with dust. The Prophet (ﷺ) started removing the dust from his back,
saying, "Get up, O Abu Turab!"

That Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) rode over a donkey covered with a Fadakiya (velvet sheet) and Usama was riding
behind him. He was visiting Sa`d bin 'Ubada (who was sick) in the dwelling place of Bani Al-Harith
bin Al-Khazraj and this incident happened before the battle of Badr. They proceeded till they passed
by a gathering in which `Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul was present., and that was before `Abdullah bin
Ubat embraced Islam. In that gathering there were Muslims, pagan idolators and Jews, and among the
Muslims there was `Abdullah bin Rawaha.
When a cloud of dust raised by (the movement of ) the animal covered that gathering, `Abdullah bin
Ubai covered his nose with his garment and said, "Do not cover us with dust." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) greeted
them, stopped, dismounted and invited them to Allah (i.e. to embrace Islam) and recited to them the
Holy Qur'an. On that `Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul said to him, "O man! There is nothing better than
what you say, if it is the truth. So do not trouble us with it in our gatherings, but if somebody comes to
you, you can preach to him." On that `Abdullah bin Rawaha said "Yes, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Call on us
in our gathering, for we love that." So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews started abusing one
another till they were about to fight with one another. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) kept on quietening them till all
of them became quiet, and then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) rode his animal and proceeded till he entered upon
Sa`d bin 'Ubada. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Sa`d! Didn't you hear what Abu Habab said?" (meaning
`Abdullah bin Unbar). "He said so-and-so." Sa`d bin Ubada said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Let my father be
sacrificed for you ! Excuse and forgive him for, by Him Who revealed to you the Book, Allah sent the
Truth which was revealed to you at the time when the people of this town had decided to crown him
(`Abdullah bin Ubai) as their ruler.
So when Allah had prevented that with the Truth He had given you, he was choked by that, and that
caused him to behave in such an impolite manner which you had noticed." So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) excused
him. (It was the custom of) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and his companions to excuse the pagans and the people of
the scripture (Christians and Jews) as Allah ordered them, and they used to be patient when annoyed
(by them). Allah said: 'You shall certainly hear much that will grieve you from those who received the
Scripture before you.....and from the pagans (3.186)
He also said: 'Many of the people of the scripture wish that if they could turn you away as disbelievers
after you have believed. .... (2.109) So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to apply what Allah had ordered him by
excusing them till he was allowed to fight against them. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had fought the battle of
Badr and Allah killed whomever He killed among the chiefs of the infidels and the nobles of Quraish,
and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and his companions had returned with victory and booty, bringing with them
some of the chiefs of the infidels and the nobles of the Quraish as captives. `Abdullah bin Ubai bin
Salul and the pagan idolators who were with him, said, "This matter (Islam) has now brought out its
face (triumphed), so give Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) the pledge of allegiance (for embracing Islam.)". Then they
became Muslims.
`Abbas bin `Abdul Muttalib said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Did you benefit Abu Talib with anything as he used to protect and take care of you, and used to become angry for you?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes, he is in a shallow place of Fire. Were it not for me, he would have been in the bottom-most depth of the Fire."

away by stealing and then pours it in the ear of his fore-teller with a sound similar to the cackle of a
hen, and then they add to it one-hundred lies."
That he heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying. "Then there was a pause in the revelation of the Divine
Inspiration to me. Then while I was walking all of a sudden I heard a voice from the sky, and I raised
my sight towards the sky and saw the same angel who had visited me in the cave of Hira,' sitting on a
chair between the sky and the earth."

Once I stayed overnight at the house of Maimuna and the Prophet (ﷺ) was there with her. When it was the
last third of the night, or some part of the night, the Prophet (ﷺ) got up looking towards the sky and

there are indeed signs for men of u understanding.' (3.190)

The wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) that she went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) while he was in I`tikaf (staying in the
mosque) during the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan. She spoke to him for an hour (a while) at

reached the gate of the mosque opposite the dwelling place of Um Salama, the wife of the Prophet,
two Ansari men passed by, and greeting Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , they quickly went ahead. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
said to them, "Do not be in a hurry She is Safiya, the daughter of Huyai." They said, "Subhan Allah!
O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (how dare we suspect you)." That was a great thing for both of them. The Prophet (ﷺ)
then said, "Satan runs in the body of Adam's son (i.e. man) as his blood circulates in it, and I was
afraid that he (Satan) might insert an evil thought in your hearts."
The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade the throwing of stones (with the thumb and the index or middle finger), and said
"It neither hunts a game nor kills (or hurts) an enemy, but it gouges out an eye or breaks a tooth."

Al-Fadl bin `Abbas rode behind the Prophet (ﷺ) as his companion rider on the back portion of his she
camel on the Day of Nahr (slaughtering of sacrifice, 10th Dhul-Hijja) and Al-Fadl was a handsome
man. The Prophet (ﷺ) stopped to give the people verdicts. In the meantime, a beautiful woman From the
tribe of Khath'am came, asking the verdict of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Al-Fadl started looking at her as her
beauty attracted him. The Prophet (ﷺ) looked behind while Al-Fadl was looking at her; so the Prophet (ﷺ)
held out his hand backwards and caught the chin of Al-Fadl and turned his face (to the owner sides in
order that he should not gaze at her. She said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! The obligation of Performing Hajj
enjoined by Allah on His worshipers, has become due (compulsory) on my father who is an old man
and who cannot sit firmly on the riding animal. Will it be sufficient that I perform Hajj on his behalf?"
He said, "Yes."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Beware! Avoid sitting on the roads." They (the people) said, "O Allah s Apostle!
We can't help sitting (on the roads) as these are (our places) here we have talks." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, ' l f
you refuse but to sit, then pay the road its right ' They said, "What is the right of the road, O Allah's
Apostle?" He said, 'Lowering your gaze, refraining from harming others, returning greeting, and
enjoining what is good, and forbidding what is evil."
When we prayed with the Prophet (ﷺ) we used to say: As-Salam be on Allah from His worshipers, As-
Salam be on Gabriel, As-Salam be on Michael, As-Salam be on so-and-so. When the Prophet (ﷺ) finished
his prayer, he faced us and said, "Allah Himself is As-Salam (Peace), so when one sits in the prayer,
one should say, 'at-Tahiyatu-li l-lahi Was-Salawatu, Wat-Taiyibatu, As-Salamu 'Alaika aiyuhan-
Nabiyyu wa Rah-matul-iahi wa Barakatuhu, As-Salamu 'Alaina wa 'ala 'Ibadillahi assalihin, for if he
says so, then it will be for all the pious slave of Allah in the Heavens and the Earth. (Then he should
say), 'Ash-hadu an la ilaha illalllahu wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan `Abduhu wa rasulu-hu,' and
then he can choose whatever speech (i.e. invocation) he wishes " (See Hadith No. 797, Vol. 1).

Apostle for ten years (the last part of his life time) and I know more than the people about the
occasion whereupon the order of Al-Hijab was revealed (to the Prophet). Ubai b n Ka`b used to ask
me about it. It was revealed (for the first time) during the marriage of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) with Zainab bint
Jahsh. In the morning, the Prophet (ﷺ) was a bride-groom of her and he Invited the people, who took their
meals and went away, but a group of them remained with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and they prolonged their
stay. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got up and went out, and I too, went out along with him till he came to the lintel
of `Aisha's dwelling place. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) thought that those people had left by then, so he returned,
and I too, returned with him till he entered upon Zainab and found that they were still sitting there and
had not yet gone. The Prophet (ﷺ) went out again, and so did I with him till he reached the lintel of
`Aisha's dwelling place, and then he thought that those people must have left by then, so he returned,
and so did I with him, and found those people had gone. At that time the Divine Verse of Al-Hijab
was revealed, and the Prophet (ﷺ) set a screen between me and him (his family).

When the Prophet (ﷺ) married Zainab, the people came and were offered a meal, and then they sat down
(after finishing their meals) and started chatting. The Prophet (ﷺ) showed as if he wanted to get up, but
they did not get up. When he noticed that, he got up, and some of the people also got up and went
away, while some others kept on sitting. When the Prophet (ﷺ) returned to enter, he found the people still
sitting, but then they got up and left. So I told the Prophet (ﷺ) of their departure and he came and went in.

(the wife of the Prophet) `Umar bin Al-Khattab used to say to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) "Let your wives be
veiled" But he did not do so. The wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) used to go out to answer the call of nature at
night only at Al-Manasi.' Once Sauda, the daughter of Zam`a went out and she was a tall woman.
`Umar bin Al-Khattab saw her while he was in a gathering, and said, "I have recognized you, O
Sauda!" He (`Umar) said so as he was anxious for some Divine orders regarding the veil (the veiling
of women.) So Allah revealed the Verse of veiling. (Al-Hijab; a complete body cover excluding the
eyes). (See Hadith No. 148, Vol. 1)

I have not seen a thing resembling 'lamam' (minor sins) than what Abu Huraira 'narrated from the
Prophet who said "Allah has written for Adam's son his share of adultery which he commits
inevitably. The adultery of the eyes is the sight (to gaze at a forbidden thing), the adultery of the
tongue is the talk, and the inner self wishes and desires and the private parts testify all this or deny it."
While I was present in one of the gatherings of the Ansar, Abu Musa came as if he was scared, and

Musa replied, "I asked permission three times, and I was not given it, so I returned, for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
said, "If anyone of you asks the permission to enter thrice, and the permission is not given, then he
should return.' " `Umar said, "By Allah! We will ask Abu Musa to bring witnesses for it." (Abu Musa
went to a gathering of the Ansar and said). "Did anyone of you hear this from the Prophet (ﷺ) ?" Ubai bin
Ka`b said, "By Allah, none will go with you but the youngest of the people (as a witness)." (Abu

this incident happened before the battle of Badr. The Prophet (ﷺ) passed by a gathering in which there
were Muslims and pagan idolators and Jews, and among them there was `Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul,
and there was `Abdullah bin Rawaha too. When a cloud of dust raised by the animal covered that
gathering, `Abdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his Rida (sheet) and said (to the Prophet), "Don't
cover us with dust." The Prophet (ﷺ) greeted them and then stopped, dismounted and invited them to
Allah (i.e., to embrace Islam) and also recited to them the Holy Qur'an. `Abdullah bin Ubai' bin Salul
said, "O man! There is nothing better than what you say, if what you say is the truth. So do not trouble
us in our gatherings. Go back to your mount (or house,) and if anyone of us comes to you, tell (your
tales) to him." On that `Abdullah bin Rawaha said, "(O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!) Come to us and bring it(what
you want to say) in our gatherings, for we love that." So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews started
quarreling till they were about to fight and clash with one another. The Prophet (ﷺ) kept on quietening
them (till they all became quiet). He then rode his animal, and proceeded till he entered upon Sa`d bin
'Ubada, he said, "O Sa`d, didn't you hear what Abu Habbab said? (He meant `Abdullah bin Ubai). He
said so-and-so." Sa`d bin 'Ubada said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Excuse and forgive him, for by Allah,
Allah has given you what He has given you. The people of this town decided to crown him (as their
chief) and make him their king. But when Allah prevented that with the Truth which He had given
you, it choked him, and that was what made him behave in the way you saw him behaving." So the
Prophet excused him.

Narrated `Abdullah bin Ka`b:
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يُحَدِّثُ حِينَ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْ تَبُوكَ، وَنَهَى، رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ كَلاَمِنَا، وَآتِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ، فَأَقُولُ فِي نَفْسِي هَلْ حَرَّكَ شَفَتَيْهِ بِرَدِّ السَّلاَمِ أَمْ لاَ حَتَّى كَمَلَتْ خَمْسُونَ لَيْلَةً، وَآذَنَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِتَوْبَةِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْنَا حِينَ صَلَّى الْفَجْرَ.
I heard Ka`b bin Malik narrating (when he did not join the battle of Tabuk): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade
all the Muslims to speak to us. I would come to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and greet him, and I would wonder
whether the Prophet (ﷺ) did move his lips to return to my greetings or not till fifty nights passed away.
The Prophet (ﷺ) then announced (to the people) Allah's forgiveness for us (acceptance of our repentance)
at the time when he had offered the Fajr (morning) prayer.

Narrated `Aisha:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ دَخَلَ رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالُوا السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ. فَفَهِمْتُهَا فَقُلْتُ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّامُ وَاللَّعْنَةُ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَهْلاً يَا عَائِشَةُ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ فِي الأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ ". فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قَالُوا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " فَقَدْ قُلْتُ وَعَلَيْكُمْ ".
A group of Jews came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "As-samu 'Alaika " (Death be on you), and I
understood it and said to them, "Alaikum AsSamu wa-l-la'na (Death and curse be on you)." Allah's
Apostle said, "Be calm! O `Aisha, for Allah loves that one should be kind and lenient in all matters." I
said. "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Haven't you heard what they have said?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "I have
(already) said (to them), 'Alaikum (upon you).' "

Asking Permission - كتاب الاستئذان
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar:
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" إِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْيَهُودُ فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ أَحَدُهُمُ السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ. فَقُلْ وَعَلَيْكَ ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "When the Jews greet you, they usually say, 'As-Samu 'alaikum (Death be on
you),' so you should say (in reply to them), 'Wa'alaikum (And on you).
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent me, Az-Zubair bin Al-Awwam and Abu Marthad Al-Ghanawi, and all of us were
horsemen, and he said, "Proceed till you reach Rawdat Khakh, where there is a woman from the
pagans carrying a letter sent by Hatib bin Abi Balta'a to the pagans (of Mecca)." So we overtook her
while she was proceeding on her camel at the same place as Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) told us. We said (to her)
"Where is the letter which is with you?" She said, "I have no letter with me." So we made her camel
kneel down and searched her mount (baggage etc) but could not find anything. My two companions
said, "We do not see any letter." I said, "I know that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not tell a lie. By Allah, if you
(the lady) do not bring out the letter, I will strip you of your clothes' When she noticed that I was
serious, she put her hand into the knot of her waist sheet, for she was tying a sheet round herself, and
brought out the letter. So we proceeded to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) with the letter. The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to Habib),
"What made you o what you have done, O Hatib?" Hatib replied, "I have done nothing except that I
believe in Allah and His Apostle, and I have not changed or altered (my religion). But I wanted to do
the favor to the people (pagans of Mecca) through which Allah might protect my family and my
property, as there is none among your companions but has someone in Mecca through whom Allah
protects his property (against harm). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Habib has told you the truth, so do not say to
him (anything) but good." `Umar bin Al-Khattab said, "Verily he has betrayed Allah, His Apostle, and
the believers! Allow me to chop his neck off!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O `Umar! What do you know;
perhaps Allah looked upon the Badr warriors and said, 'Do whatever you like, for I have ordained that
you will be in Paradise.'" On that `Umar wept and said, "Allah and His Apostle know best."
